I'm looking to buy a 20-25" flat screen TV but only plan to hook it up to reg. cable. I have another HD flat screen that is hooked up to reg. cable and the picture is very fuzzy. What kind of flat screen should i get so it won't be fuzzy

When you buy a HDTV you also should get a High Def cable box from your cable company. They cost more but they give a better image that you can see on High Def TV.
The new High Def TVs actually make older analog signals look bad. They even can make DVDs look worse if you don't have an upconverting DVD player.
If you have an old cheaper analog TV you don't need the high def box, so don't pay extra for because you won't see the improvement on an old TV.
If you don't want to upgrade your TV signal, you should buy a TV with 'lower' resolution. But get Progressive scan, noted with a little p instead of Interlaced, with a little i.
1080 is tops.
then there is 720p
or even cheaper is EDTV enhanced which is 480p
and with 480 you don't need a HDTV box. But of course the picture won't be as nice as full HDTV.

Your best bet is to stick with buying an hd tv, because feburary 18, 2009 everything is switching to hd. Invest in one with a built in hd tuner.
